That said, I don't get the fascination with pistols for self defense. Revolvers are so much simpler and always will go boom. That's what I'd carry if I would feel inclined to do so. Yes, they are 1/2 inch thicker ...
JMHO on both subjects ...

Yeah, my first thought was: Ruger SP 101 in .327 Federal! Shoot softer .32's at targets and magnums for self defense, perfect! But that's what I would want, and not what Z-man has suggested either he or his wife are attracted to. But if you did go that way, you know for her, since you were already shooting a .32, you could justify a Colt Police Positive, and maybe an old Winchester lever action in .32-20, and...
On second thought Z-man stay away from revolvers, that kind of addiction is a disease.
